Several versions of energy dependent effective KbarN interactions derived from chiral SU(3) dynamics are employed as input, together with a realistic NN potential (Av18). Taking into account theoretical uncertainties in the extrapolations below the KbarN threshold, we find that the antikaonic dibaryon ppK^- is NOT deeply bound. With the driving s-wave KbarN interaction the resulting total binding energy is B(ppK^-) = 20 $\\pm$ 3 MeV and the mesonic decay width involving KbarN -> \\pi Y is expected to be in the range 40 - 70 MeV. Properties of this quasibound ppK^- system (such as density distributions of nucleons and antikaon) are discussed. The \\Lambda(1405), as an I=0 quasi-bound state of Kbar and a nucleon, appears to survive in the ppK^- cluster. Estimates are given for the influence of p-wave KbarN interactions and for the width from two-nucleon absorption (KbarNN -> YN) processes. With inclusionof these effects and dispersive corrections from absorption, the ppK^- binding energy is expected to be in the range 20 - 40 MeV, while the total decay width can reach 100 MeV but with large theoretical uncertainties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-11-03T08:38:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.30.Rd", "21.85.+d", "13.75.Jz", "21.45.-v" ], "keywords": [ "chiral su", "variational calculation", "energy dependent effective kbarn interactions", "quasibound kbar nuclei" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2009, "month": "Jan", "volume": 79, "number": 1, "pages": "014003" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 789452, "adsabs": "2009PhRvC..79a4003D" } } }
